Hello,

We are with a new game ready, it's great, and it's done with A6.45

Everything works fine when playing in my XP systems, but we have an error when exiting the game on Vista.

I've tried both commands available SYS_EXIT("end"), and EXIT.

Both gave me the same error, it's like:



We made a function, and before exit the game, we are loading an empty scenery; the memory is clear, most functions stoped, but the error persist.

I need an urgent solution, since the game is ready to be published, going master disk, then any help is very appreciated.

I've searched the Forum, but I didn't find anything relative to this.

Worst is that I don't have the Vista here. I'm waiting to finish this project to upgrade everything, and start using the A7.

I need some light here, thanks.

All the best,

A.B.

What does Vista tell you when you click that "View problem details" ?

From the French publisher:

The first thing to do for looking into this is an acklog of the problem.

6.40.5 was an old version from pre-Vista ages, so of course we can't guarantee its Vista compatibility. On the other hand, although this was not 'officially' tested, I know that all old A6 versions run fine under Vista. Even A5 was reported to run under Vista.

So I suspect it's a different problem that also occurs under XP, but does not lead to a crash there for some random reason. Maybe some allocated object is not freed.

You should definitely update to A6.60, at least. We can then also look into the problem when you send us an A6.60 or, much better, an A7 version of your game.

Thanks.

Ok, as developer I need to have a Vista here to test it, and I'm going to buy it right now.

The game seems to run completely normal under Vista, the error is just when exiting.

I believe Microsoft did not cut the compatibility with XP programs, I don't think it would be a good idea. If it happen, I go myself to US knock on their door and ask what's up.

Anyway, I'm searching on this, and it seems that uncle Bill has invented some new properties for shortcuts and programs.

I found this:

I'm buying a vista, and then I can make a few more tests.

Help is welcome.
